“…… Maybe Liang should have understood that this kind of thing can't be hidden from you Lu Yizhou at all. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhuge Liang's words made Lu Ren feel a little complacent in his heart, but Lu Ren had an advantage, that is, when he was proud, he would remember not to raise his tail too high. And in Lu Ren's heart, there is something that he has always been a little unable to understand, so he asked Zhuge Liang at this time: "Kong Ming, there is something I really can't understand. Your failure to protect my caravan this time, together with the last proposal to my family Xiaoyu, in the past half a year, you have already cheated me twice......"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled and corrected: "There is no pit." ”

Lu Ren said: "The things I don't understand are here. You want to have a dislike between me and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, so as to relieve the pressure on Jingzhou, I can understand this, to be honest, I don't bother to blame you, after all, in the troubled times, it is too common to make some such tricks and bad moves. If I really fall for it and suffer a loss, I will have to blame myself for not being smart enough.

"But Kong Ming, am I, Lu Ren, really that stupid in your eyes? Anyway, you are also a person who has dealt with me a few times at the beginning, you should understand that although I, Lu Ren, am not an extremely smart person, I will not even be able to see this kind of method of yours, right? On the other hand, your Kong Ming's intelligence is rare in the world, and you are a cautious person, so you shouldn't make such a mistake in this kind of thing. But you didn't just do it, you did it twice, so I really don't understand why. ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Ren again for a long, long time, and finally said with a long sigh: "Lu Yizhou, Liang has never dared to underestimate you since he got acquainted with you, so he has long expected that these two plans will definitely fail." ”

Lu Ren frowned: "Then why do you still do it?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "It's not that Liang wants to do it, but the people who are newly invested under the command of the lord in Jingzhou want to do it; It's not that Liang looks down on you and despises you, but those Jingzhou scholars look down on you. ”

“……”

Lu Ren was immediately speechless. Zhuge Liang's words were actually very clear, and Lu Ren certainly understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words. After thinking about it again, Lu Ren couldn't help but shake his head and smile strangely: "Why am I so unbearable in the eyes of the scholars in Jingxiang Land?" ”

Zhuge Liang didn't know how to answer this question, and Lu Ren could only make up for it by himself when he looked at Zhuge Liang's expression.

Jing Xiangshi people look down on Lu Ren? I'm sorry, but I really look down on it! Not to mention Lu Ren, even if it is Lao Cao, who dominates the north, these Jingxiang people still look down on them the same?

But if you really want to talk about it, this is actually a very normal thing. First of all, look at the background, Lao Cao is the so-called "eunuch queen", and Lu Ren is just the last branch of the Lu clan in Wu County, when he was a child, he was still called Huazi, and he couldn't even enter the genealogy...... About this, Lu Ren will say: "Nonsense! Lao Tzu was originally an 'airborne soldier', and it's strange that I can be found on the Lu family's genealogy! And my background is also made up for convenience, okay? ”

In short, such a background will definitely be looked down upon by many, many pretentious scholars. On the other hand, Lao Cao and Lu Ren both did things that were very dissatisfied with the scholar class.

Lao Cao is a "meritocracy" who does not ask about his background or family; Lu Ren was even more straightforward, and directly moved out the imperial examination system, do you know how much impact this would have on the scholar class at that time?

And Lu Ren's more "excessive" lies in...... It was an era of paying attention to "Shinong industry and commerce", which scholar didn't see himself as if he was something? However, Lu Ren has his own development route, so he has been trying to improve the social status of "agriculture and industry" as much as possible, and after years of hard work, it has been quite effective.

To be honest, if this is changed to other areas, it will probably not be rectified, but because Yizhou originally absorbed the poor and displaced people at the bottom of the society, Yizhou has the possibility of carrying out this kind of change. In this regard, Lu Ren once joked with himself very jokingly, saying that he was learning from Grandpa Mao's strategic thinking and fighting a people's war...... Of course, it's a bit of a stretch, but it's right to conform to the mentality of the poor people who want to improve their social status.

But the people of the noble class were not happy. They used to be high-minded and regarded "farmers and businessmen" as untouchables, but suddenly they heard about the social status of those untouchables in a certain place...... Not to mention that they are taller than themselves, but they are close to being equal to themselves, so can these people of the scholar class stand it? Therefore, they will be very contemptuous of Lu Ren, and then turn from contempt to contempt, thinking that Lu Ren, who will take this kind of "common sense" against common sense, must be a guy with a brain in the water, and he doesn't know how to govern the country.

And for a long time, Lu Ren mainly appeared in front of the Jingxiang scholar class as a businessman in the Jingzhou area, and many things that Lu Ren did before and after did not have any direct impact on the Jingxiang area, unlike Lao Cao and Sun Quan.

Therefore, many, many Jingxiangshi people think that Lu Ren is just a very opportunistic businessman, and he has brought this kind of opportunistic tricks into the governance of Yizhou, although Yizhou looks good now, but where can such a businessman have any great wisdom?

Okay, the great wisdom Lu Ren may really not have, but Lu Ren has been mixed for so many years, and he has a lot of strategy guides in his hands, it is no problem to follow his own development route carefully, and Lu Ren will also see many things very clearly, but where will those Jingxiangshi people know this? So they didn't know that they really underestimated Lu Ren too much.

But after Lu Ren finished making up some things on his own, his eyes looked at Zhuge Liang again, and asked: "Kong Ming, they don't know that I, Lu Ren, am not stupid, but you know!" Why are you employing these strategies? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "It's very simple, you have to let them know how powerful you are in Lu Yizhou." If you don't let them suffer some hardships, they will really anger you Lu Yizhou sooner or later, and then the situation will really be out of control, and the lord's plan will inevitably be hindered by this. On the other hand, Liang does not deny that he really saved a little luck about these two things. Anyway, since you can't stop them, it's better to give it a try to you Lu Yizhou according to their wishes. No matter which one succeeds, Liang can always feel at ease when facing Chai Sang Zhou Yu. ”

Lu Ren said: "But what if you fail?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head: "It is not a complete failure, because I know that even if you Lu Yizhou see through it, you will never take revenge on us easily, and I have to rush to apologize to Lu Yizhou at the right time." So I'm not here, am I? ”

“……”

Lu Ren was speechless for a long time again, then raised his hand and pointed at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, Kong Ming, how do I feel that you have such a taste of borrowing a knife to kill people?" Borrow my knife to kill the sharp spirit of those people in Jingzhou. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, but his face was also a wry smile: "Liang is only thirty years old (Zhuge Liang was twenty-six years old when he came out of the mountain in the twelfth year of Jian'an, and he is thirty-two years old when he came out of the spring of the eighteenth year of Jian'an). So if you don't follow their wishes and let them suffer a little, they won't understand that you Lu Yizhou is definitely not a person to provoke. ”

Lu Ren got up and left his seat, stretched out his hand and patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder a few times, and sighed softly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. The world thinks that you Kong Ming has infinite scenery after becoming the assistant of Uncle Liu, but I don't know how much hard work and sweat you have to pay behind this scenery. That's it, Kong Ming, you are a smart person, and you personally came to Yizhou to apologize to me, and even helped those people carry a lot of black pots, so I have to give you this face. Just ......"

Zhuge Liang said: "Lu Yizhou, if you have any conditions, just say it." Liang actually likes to talk to Lu Yizhou very much, because when talking with Lu Yizhou, you can meet each other honestly, and you don't have to think about those false words, which saves worry and effort...... Although it will be more difficult to say it. ”

Lu Ren nodded, stood up and walked to the window, looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Liu Huang can be regarded as failing me first, and if he wants to reconcile with me......"

Zhuge Liang was shocked in his heart, and asked vigilantly: "Could it be that Lu Yizhou also intends to be in Shuzhong?" ”

Lu Ren turned his back to Zhuge Liang, looking like an unfathomable look, in fact, Lu Ren's heart was a little nervous at this moment, because he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would see through this gesture: "I have no interest in Shuzhong, and I also feel that I have no ability to compete." Mr. Kong Ming, I believe that with Uncle Liu's great talent, the martial courage of General Guan Zhang and Zhao, and the strategy of the two major military divisions of Wolong and Phoenix, Uncle Huang will definitely be able to take down Sichuanzhong.

"But Kong Ming, you should also have heard that many Nanban clans in the counties of Nanzhong are friendly with me, and I have left a precious apprentice in Nanzhong to think that Jianning is the gateway to trade. My condition is that after Uncle Liu Huang is in Dading Shuzhong, he will not go to the counties in the guide, let alone recruit troops from there to collect grain. If there is any need, it is better to solve it in a fair trade way, and the trading base may as well be set in Jianning. I would also like to say here that as long as I, Lu Ren, still control Jianning County for one day, I will try my best not to let the Nanzhong Counties bring any trouble to Shuzhong, which will also be of great help to Uncle Liu Huang's future Northern Expedition. But if you move the mind of Jianning County...... I don't need to talk too much about this, right? ”

Zhuge Liang listened for a long time before he replied uncertainly: "Lu Yizhou, this is your condition?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Yes, Kong Ming, what do you think?" (To be continued.) )
